experience was mania with suicide ideation -- very scarey, very vivid thoughts. For me it was triggered by Prozac, so my treatment is to stay away from specific AD meds and work with meds that treat manic-depression. I have been told that rapid cyclers tend to get triggered into mixed states but don't know if this is true.

In my experience as a very rapid cycler, it's true. I can sneeze and trow my body chemistry out of whack and into a mixed-state! LOL. No, seriously, now. DO NOT MESS AROUND WITH A MIXED-STATE!!! Get in to your pdoc office ASAP. SusanJane is right on it when she says it's very scarey and may trigger suicide impulse. This was what happened to me when the overlying mania cycle into psychosis along with a ten-second rage. These few moments was all it took for me to overdose IMPULSIVELY on Seroquel.

Another thing. My mixed-states are almost always overwhelming with pain; angst, anguish, mental pain. Whatever! Call it what they will, but all I know is you can't miss it when you feel it.

To knock me out of a mixed-state, my doc has had me take atypical antipsychotics (Seroquel worked the best for me...Zeldox or Ziprasidone should be out soon. Zeldox was exceptional at pulling me out of the mixed-state and ultra-rapid cycling!)
